Nevada Hookers Lean Libertarian in GOP Prez Primary

Sign Outside Moonlite BunnyRanch

The Republican Party's race for Nevada's hooker votes has come to a head in recent days (puns very much intended). The surprise leader, up to this point, is Ron Paul. His libertarian ideology struck a sympathetic note with the state's legal prostitutes (no, we're not talking about its elected officials).

According to a bloomberg.com story, the customers and sex workers at Nevada's Moonlite BunnyRanch are ponying up for Paul's campaign. Intriguingly, they don't care for Mitt Romney, whom they view as "too square." That was not the case with Newton Leroy Gringrich, whose extra-marital affairs and tawdry divorce proceedings have generated more public debate than his policy positions have. Dennis Hof, the owner and self-proclaimed "pimp master" of the Moonlite BunnyRanch and other Nevada brothels, claimed his hooker poll (what a phrase to use in a political discussion!) indicated the women who play for pay liked Gingrich. "They don't have a problem with him being a womanizer," Hof said.
